Gabapentin is often prescribed after surgery to prevent/treat pain-Faith based belief it is safer than opiods. Here is more evidence it is not helpful and may be harmful ja.ma/3LrVfMb JAMA Internal Medicine

An absolute honor to be included in such an important study by Chanmi Park, MD, MPH Dae Kim!

In patients 65+ undergoing surgery, perioperative gabapentin use was associated with increased:
🧠delirium
💊new antipsychotic use
🫁pneumonia

It’s not an opioid, but it’s still harmful!

Study suggests that careful risk-benefit assessment is needed before prescribing #gabapentin for perioperative #PainManagement to older patients. ja.ma/3dxbPxk #Research
